Doctors may have multiple employers during the year and they don't always get cumulative PAYE codes operated - make sure you get payslips as well as P60s/P45s so you can check you have all the income accounted for. And I'm speaking from personal experience!

Thanks Flash & MarionFor that advice that website was useful and I will bare the multiple employer in mind flash.
Flash if you have done a few of these before do you find they lead to other doctors signing up also
Or I'd likely to be just a one off.

The NHS have their own SMP scheme. Many practices' bookkeeping is poorly done and the payroll is often done by someone without the foggiest idea of even basic payroll matters.

The NHS helplines on payroll matters are staffed by nitwits who know nothing, so I would have a quick check on P60's and SMP calculations in particular to ensure you agree these. SMP calculations could well be wrong.
